Australia does not have extreme temperature variations in the areas where koalas live. The worst that happens is that koalas' habitat may be subjected to extreme heat and dryness for a prolonged period of time. During these heatwaves, koalas will actively seek out water, even though during normal times they do not tend to drink, instead obtaining all their moisture needs from the leaves they eat. Bushfires can certainly kill koalas.

How will global warming affect the koalas?
The main way in which climate change is likely to affect koalas is that the frequency and intensity of bushfires in Australia will probably increase. Bushfires, of course, kill koalas. Eucalyptus bushland will always regenerate after a bushfire - that is the way Australian native plants are designed - so, while koalas are unlikely to lose their food source anytime soon, the impact of bushfires on the koala population can be quite devastating. Koalas simply have nowhere to run and hide.
How do people affect koalas?
People cut down the koalas' homes to make farms, logging, and urban houses. Urban sprawl leads to koalas killed on the road and attacked by pets. In the past, people hunted koalas and made them almost extinct; but laws were passed in the 1920s to protect koalas.
